Another newbie

[walfu]

Hi all. Great site! I am brand new to smoking. I picked up a Master Forge gas smoker a few weeks ago. I have done a couple whole chickens and ribs in it. I have been really pleased with the results. I see most use internal temp as their guide. I need a good IT thermometer if that's the case. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help you've already given me!
